Why could the mass of argon be greater than the mass of potassium even though it has a lower atomic number?

Chemistry

lesya [120]3 years ago

The mass given on the periodic table is the weighted average of the abundance of isotopes. Because heavier isotopes (more neutrons) of argon are more abundant than potassium's, by pure statistics, argon will appear with a greater mass on the periodic table.


in easy way

we can also say :- Argon has  greater proportions of heavier isotopes with more neutrons than potassium.

Refer to the Chemical Compounds table above. How many total elements are in<br> Ethanol?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

3 element i.e carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Subtance >>>>>>>> Chemical Formula

Glucose >>>>>>>>> C₆H₁₂O₆

Methane >>>>>>>> CH₄

Ethanol >>>>>>>>> C₂H₅OH

Hydrogen peroxide >> H₂O₂

From the above table, we can see that ethanol (C₂H₅OH) contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen

Therefore, the total number of elements present in ethanol, C₂H₅OH is 3.

What does it mean for a strong base to be in equilibrium?
prisoha [69]

The position of equilibrium lies far to the right, with products being favoured. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium is a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs.

A very high value of K indicates that at equilibrium most of the reactants are converted into products.

The equilibrium constant K is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants raised to appropriate stoichiometric coefficients.

When the value of the equilibrium constant is very high, the concentration of products is much higher than the concentration of reactants.

This means that most of the reactants are converted into products and the position of equilibrium lies far to the right, with products being favoured.

Hence, option A is correct.

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in th
WINSTONCH [101]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

For the given chemical reaction:

Mg(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(g)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+2H_2O(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))})]

We are given:

\Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))}=-924.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))}=-92.30kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))}=-641.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.8kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-641.8))+(2\times (-241.8))]-[(1\times (-924.5))+(2\times (-92.30))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-16.3kJ

Hence, the standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ
